It doesn’t appear that the Green Bay Packers (13-0) will have much trouble keeping their perfect season going in this weekend’s clash in Kansas City against the Chiefs (5-8).
The Packers are 14-point road favorites and the huge spread hasn’t scared off tracked NFL bettors that are backing Green Bay at close to an 85% ratio.
The Chiefs actually have a better record on the road this year and it will take a big effort for Kansas City to keep this 1:00 PM ET game close.
One supporting factor for the Chiefs is that they have covered the point spread in 5 of the previous 6 head-to-head meetings against the Packers.
The bad news is that those 5 covers came from 1989-2003, and Green Bay was a 33-22 road winner as 1-point underdogs in the most recent meeting in 2007.
4 straight games between these teams have gone over the total, and Sunday’s total has been bet down to 45.5 after opening at 46.
Green Bay is getting a ton of support because of the fact that they have covered the odds in 9 of their 13 games this year.
Kansas City has been a profitable bet as well with 7 covers in 13 games, but it is obvious that there is a large talent disparity between these teams.
The Chiefs have gone under the total in 9 of 13 games, while Green Bay has done the exact opposite while going over in 9 of 13.
Green Bay has covered the point spread in 4 of their last 6 games this year, although they failed in their most recent road clash.
Kansas City is coming off an embarrassing 10-37 road loss against the New York Jets but did manage to cover the line in their 2 previous games.
